Mouth to Lung VS Direct Lung: What’s the Difference?

Vaping has become a huge trend in the past few years with many people young and old picking up a vape pen and puffing out clouds. Whether you want to do it to kick a bad nicotine habit, relieve stress in your life, or just to look cool, there are many things to know about the art of vaping. You need to know what settings you should program your vaping device so that it fits your style of vaping. The biggest factor that will determine how you set your device is how you inhale the vapor. This post will dissect the differences between mouth to lung inhalation and direct lung inhalation in vaping.

What is Vaping?

While you surely know people who do vape, you might not know what exactly vaping is. So, what is vaping? Vaping is the act of inhaling water vapor through a device called a vaporizer (or e-cigarette) that produces the vapor. The vapor used is known as e-liquid and is usually flavored to smell like fruit, candy, or a variety of other things when exhaled. E-liquid most often consists of vegetable glycerin or propylene glycol or both, plus the flavoring. A vaporizer is built with a cartridge, battery, atomizer or cartomizer, circuitry with a sensor, and a mouthpiece. Vaporizers are usually rechargeable and refillable so you’ll only be buying e-liquid. Other vaping devices include electronic cigarettes, vape tanks, and vape mods; each vaping device has its pros and cons. It all depends on what fits your wants and needs. Vaping is completely tobacco-free and can be nicotine-free, making it a good alternative for people trying to quit cigarettes.

Mouth to Lung Vaping

There are a few different terms that people use to refer to mouth to lung vaping. These terms include mouth inhale, mouth inhalation, or MTL. They all refer to the same type of inhalation which involves the person inhaling and gathering the vapor into their mouth. After a short period of time, you then inhale it into your lungs. This type of inhalation can be compared to the inhalation involved when people smoke cigarettes and cigars. MTL is for vapers who want to really enjoy the flavor of the e-liquid but don’t care too much about the amount of vapor. Ex-smokers who have recently switched to vaping will find mouth inhalation more agreeable since it is similar to smoking cigarettes.

MTL vaping requires a specific set up to be achieved. The best vape stores will have what you need. The ideal hardware for mouth to lung vaping includes tanks with high ohm coils; at 1.2 ohms or higher, a narrow drip tip, tight airflow, any nicotine strength you prefer, medium to low battery strength; ideally around 15-18w, and high PG (propylene glycol). MTL is the more affordable option and is more economical in the long run because it uses less e-liquid.

Direct Lung Vaping (170)

As there were with MTL, there are various terms to describe direct lung vaping. Some of the terms include direct to lung hit, lung hit, lung inhale, and various others. If someone is using a term that implies inhaling the vapor deeply, they’re probably referring to direct lung vaping. In direct lung, the vapor bypasses the mouth and directly travels down the throat to the lungs. This method of vaping can be compared to inhalation of hookah. Lung inhales are for those who don’t really care about the flavor but want a solid hit and a lot of vapor. This type of inhalation is popular among cloud chasers, people who vape to do tricks and who use it more as an art form. It’s not recommended for beginners because it is such an intense hit and it can be overwhelming.

Direct lung vaping also has a certain setup that optimizes direct inhalation. To do lung inhalation, you’ll need: a powerful battery, loose airflow, wide bore drip tip, low nicotine strength, a sub-ohm tank, and high VG (vegetable glycerin). Direct lung hits are the hip, cool thing at the moment and are supposed to give users a more satisfying experience.

The Verdict

Those who want to get into vaping, don’t need to worry about not knowing a lot about the practice. The best online vape store should be able to help and assist you with any questions you have. As for which inhalation style is the best, it depends on your personal preference. If you’re just starting out, it’s not suggested that you go straight into direct lung vaping but work your way up to it. Finding your style of vaping is what makes the whole thing enjoyable, so go out there and have fun.
